The 2hp Kick can generate sounds reminiscent of bass drums and toms. It can be tuned via a Pitch potentiometer. Thanks to a 1v / octave input, it is even possible to play the module tonally over a range of five octaves. Using the decay potentiometer, you can vary the sound of the 2hp Kick from short and crisp to long-lasting. The parameter can be influenced via a control voltage as well. This means that it is possible to stretch drum-hits in need of accentuation using, for instance, a modulation sequencer or a LFO. The Tone parameter changes the timbre of sounds from dark to bright. This parameter can be modulated via a CV input as well. With applying a synchronized LFO to this connector, you can create timbre variations which match the beat. Additionally, this CV input is ideal for the pressure sensitivity of a drum pad.
